Perhaps a brief explanation is in order...

I glanced back at Rachel, who was still watching with an expression of worry and wonder. While she was clearly aroused, she was also extremely concerned for me. That was just the sort of girl she was and I loved her for it. I knew what I had to do.

Placing my finger on Janice's nose, I stared into her glazed eyes with as stern an expression as I could muster. "You stay here, pooch. Rachel and I are going to talk," I told her. "If I come back and you've moved from this spot, you will be in for a world of trouble, do you understand?" She opened her mouth and I quickly interrupted. "No talking!" Her mouth clamped shut and she nodded. The way she was quivering...she looked close to exploding. Good. If I had to treat her like this, I wanted her to enjoy it.

Turning to Rachel, I gave her a soft smile and extended my hand. She glanced at it a moment before realization hit. With only slight hesitation, she placed her hand in mine and I led her from the room. As soon as we were out of ear shot, I let out a sigh and felt myself shake a little. I didn't realize how tense I was making myself back there. No wonder Rachel was worried. "I didn't mean to worry you, Rachel," I whispered. "It's just...I can't let you two keep fighting like you were."

Relief washed over her face and she hugged me. "Oh thank god," she whispered, apparently understanding that I didn't want Jan to hear. Her grip around me was tight. I kissed her forehead, causing her lavender eyes to light up. She leaned closer, looking ready to kiss me.

As much as I didn't want to, I had to stop her. I placed my finger over her lips. She looked surprised. "Sorry, but we can't yet. We need to get back to Jan," I explained. She seemed a little upset by that, her lip forming into a pout. "It seems our little genius has a real submissive streak, so I need to keep up the aggressiveness. ...besides, you didn't seem to hate it yourself." Rachel blushed, looking away slightly. "That said, I'll give you a choice. You can help me 'train' Jan...or I can do a little training with you too."
